Description

I recently had the pleasure of working for friend, and fellow mapmaker, MistyBeee and worked on her story world of Oneira.

She's done some locations from her world, but I'm not sure if she has ever shown the whole world before.

So I was honored to work with her on this Skenara-styled version and hope you enjoy it.

It is available for a limited time from me as a print over on my INPRNT shop - www.inprnt.com/gallery/j.steve…

So definitely grab a copy while you can.


There will be close-ups posted to my social media sites later today, so look out for those.

You can find all of those links here - www.imaginebetterworlds.com/my…

Have a great week, everyone. Cheers, J

Thanks Tad
I was going to go more ornate, but it seemed the wrong direction.

We're so in love with it. Every detail : the towers, the trees, the cities... Everything is perfect, and surprising for us who know the map so well : new unexpected ideas are spawning... It will be amazing to unroll the map this winter in front of the fireplace, and to tell new stories thanks to you !

I hope you won't be disappointed but... absolutely not !
The shape of Oneira was a happy accident happened 20 years ago while trying to join two different fantasy worlds in one single map ^^

Awesome I'm glad it resonates with you and Oni.
I hoped that I might have a few differences that would be pleasant new directions.
I'll be interested to hear about those new stories when they surface.

Hmm... Something is happening in Pyrelos at the moment, on one of those billions of islands... 'could be a lovely short story, in four seasons maybe.

Pyrelos definitely seems like a place where many things happen.

So many islands, so many possibilities. So many little boats.

No. What sort of reference would one use for this sort of thing, do you think?

wow i realy like the tequne on this one, i'm trying to learn to draw maps better for my own novel i'm writing, its hard to get anthing to look quite right, but harder still is the drawing of a battlefeild map, i just can't quite work out how to draw them to fit the section in my book, i wouldn't mind seeing how you would draw one, not sadly that i am able to commistion from you... aww well.
